The wait was long, but it's finally available, Oracle V4.1.4 for RSX-11M+.
More at www.oracle-v2.online/oracle414

When going to the page there's only a background ...

There is an animation on that page. Your brouwser may not supprt it.
It works with Firefox.

Ed,
Congrats to both you and Johnny on bringing this Oracle software back from extinction!!

I was a big fan of Datatrieve but haven’t worked with Oracle before. I downloaded the V2.3 manuals and have started reading them, but I ran into a question. To use the UFI, one needs to login with a user name and password. Is there a default one or how do you set one up? I configured my installation for two users.

Thanks for this great software archeology development!

It fails with chrome, though. and https:// gives a not-found error (and a cert authenticity error).

Warner,
   I was able to access the web page http://www.oracle-v2.online/oracle414/ with FireFox, Safari and Chrome on my M2 MacBook Pro.

Best,
Mark

Yes, it is a self hosted page. Firefox will work.

Works well with Chrome ver 131.0.6778.205, Windows 10. Image, top-of-page text, and bottom menu functional.

On a Pi4, Chromium ver. 122.0.6261.89, release from around 6 months ago for PiDP-11, I get the image backdrop but no bottom-of-page menu or other text, and can't scroll the window.

On the same Pi4, Firefox 125.0.1, I get the full background image, but no bottom-of-page menu or other text.  The window is not scrollable.

Sorry, that's all I have time to check this morning.

Update:  If I increase the screen resolution on the Pi, I see the full display including text.  "full background image" on Firefox on my original message was wrong, I was only seeing a partial background image.

The Oracle site is displaying well in both Chromium and Firefox on the RPi/Debian system when the screen resolution is sufficiently high.

Yes, it does work on Chrome, but you might have to adjust the resolution.

Did you specify 'du0:' or 'du0'? The device has to include the ':'.

Thanks. It's now up and running.

Nice to get back to Oracle. I started with v5 on ms-dos in the early 90s and kept within the Oracle "family" until about 2015.

Trouble again...

After the install, I used the provided script to create a demo database. Then created a table, commited and did a select statement. All well.

Today, after rebooting RSX, I've run @insoracle to start it.
This time, CBD only shows 2 Oracle related tasks (ORASHR, ORAFSC or ORASFC, can't remember), while yesterday there were 5-6 ORA tasks.
Predictable when logging to UFI with scott/tiger I got an error...

Any ideas ?

Yeah, you need to start the thing up, which isn't done automatically.

After @insoracle, you need to do "ior w" (for warm start).
